Turner to Monet: the triumph of landscape presents a landmark exhibition of nineteenth-century Western landscape painting. Featuring one hundred works by the greatest artists of the time, the exhibition showcases Australian landscape painting in an international context and looks at the triumph of landscape as it rises to new importance in the art of Europe and the New World.

Turner to Monet, accompanied by a major catalogue, will be held at one venue only: the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. The exhibition runs from 14 March to 9 June 2008.
